So who is teaching these students to hate?

Quote:BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Racial tensions erupt both inside and outside of Digital Harbor High School in Federal Hill over the past week. Now school officials and the police are coming together to try to put an end to the violence. Students say the feud is between African- Americans and Latinos.

Meghan McCorkell has more on the actions being taken.

Tuesday night, parents were called to a meeting with police and school officials to try to curb fears. Police increased patrols outside Digital Harbor High School after tensions between students boil over.

“There were some problems between students, and that’s what started everything,” said Jose Dominguez, student.

Dominguez says his fellow classmates are scared to walk the halls after two students were attacked last week after school.

“You could feel something bad was going on,” he said.


The strain has now moved inside the school.

“It’s like segregation. Hispanic kids stay on one side. The African-Americans stay on the other,” said Sevi Chaplin, a student at the school. “They’ve been breaking out into fights, riots, everything else.”

Some parents are so fearful they’ve kept their kids home.

“I didn’t send mine back Monday or Tuesday, yesterday or today. No, I didn’t,” said concerned mother Kisha Jackson.

Frightened for his life, tenth-grader Ali Majeki is on edge. He says he has to constantly watch his back in school. He said the diversity divide is the talk of the halls.

“Every teacher is walking and talking about this situation,” Majeki said.

A few students say it escalated between African-Americans and Latinos after the murder of a former Mexican student, 15-year-old Oscar Torres.

Even though Majeki is not Latino, his older brother has been holding him out of school.

“He didn’t go to school today and yesterday for safety concerns,” his brother said.

Anabel Dominguez says she wants the school to come up with solutions for the issue before it gets even bigger.

Tuesday night, school leaders, security officers and city police came together to discuss their response to the violence.

It’s a move the mayor says is a step in the right direction.

“You have to confront it. You can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

Parents say some of the subjects discussed in the meeting have calmed some of their fears.

“They are going to work with more cultural diversity in the classroom with the students, more community involvement with the community, with the school,” said Michelle Smalls, parent.

Students were also asked to take a pledge called “Stop Hatin, No Mas”— vowing to put an end to the violence.

Police say they will continue to beef up patrols around the school until the end of the school year.

School officials released a statement saying, in part, they are “working proactively with students, parents, police and community partners to reinforce the expectation that students treat each other with respect.”

We're about to see one side pulling hair, twisting dicks, and pillow fighting, while the other side is beating each other senseless with desks, clubs, and whatever else they can get their hands on...

Heck, this was happening in the 70s at a local high school. I'm not saying it's right because it's not but it's old news. New in Baltimore maybe.

It's like West Side Story only the colors have changed.

It happens in all white schools too. But this times it was religion. Ireland.

I guess it's just weird because you only ever hear about the white being the suspect...

Ireland was not about Religion, it was about land and conquest. Religions was just used to rally the troops.

What to know what the Prots and Catholics went at it in NI?

Because the Cat's ware native Irish

And the Prots were "Ulster Irish" or decendants of Scotts and English who came when the crown was turning Ireland into a big plantation.

Religions was just used to rally the troops. (quote)


So it was religion?

Humans have "tribal" tendencies. And tribes can be established based upon any perceived difference. It sometimes is obvious when black and whites or blacks and Latinos fight, but there are many more, worldwide.

For example, the Irish in Northern Ireland set their tribes based upon religion. In India there is conflict among the castes. They share an ethnicity but one factor segregates.

In LA, what neighborhood you live in determines whether you are a Blood or Crip.

If there is no genetic difference, someone will create a difference.

No it was a land invasion and attempted genocide of the Irish People... At hte same time there were Catholics living in Scotland and England. Had this been about Religion than the English and Scottish Catholics would also have been severely persecuted.

When you see a WW1 Battle field each side wore a different uniform but believe it or not they were not fighting over the uniform selection.

Its not that the tribe was set on religion.. Ireland was as Catholic as Italy but the reason they were a people was blood and history.

The Non Catholics in Ireland were not Catholics who woke up one day and decided to leave the Church. The people who are not Catholic in Ireland are the descendants of folks who got on a boat, went across the channel, and invaded Ireland.

In certain countries Shites and Sunnies are killing each other. Both are Arab. Is it because of a religious ideology?

I understand exactly what you're trying to enlighten me to but what I'm trying to make you see is that they use religion as the determining factor of who is the enemy.

The first posters question was "who is teaching these kids to hate" or words to that effect. Answer: The grown ups.

Every school has different dynamics. My school didn't have black/white/latino tensions, we had rich/poor tensions. I guess that's a testament to living in a small town. There weren't any white/black/latino areas of town; just rich/poor. Plus, the people who would probably take issues with race go to the private school.

I've seen more fights over church affiliation than race. Nobody liked those First Presbyterian pricks.

Maybe the blacks and latinos should get together and go engage in the knock out game on some unsuspecting white tourists; that'll help smooth things over. Maybe gang attack a few of them downtown. Release that aggression.
